Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Vietcong: Purple Haze is a cinematic narrative-based first-person Shooter set during the Vietnam conflict. Players will experience the war from the perspective of a soldier assigned to join a squad of U.S. Special Forces running reconnaissance missions deep into the jungles of Northern Vietnam.

Utilizing any means necessary, patrol various tactical regions gathering intelligence, calling in air strikes or ambushing enemy patrols. Fight in a 19-mission single player campaign, featuring 17 of the best from the PC version and 2 new missions unique to consoles. Strike from the shadows choosing from more than 30 unlockable weapons including an M16, M79 grenade launcher, Mosin-Nagent, Sten MKII and the M60--or throw a grenade or utilize handheld attacks with a knife. Stay alert or your next step could trigger a trip wire, spring a Punji whip trap or drop down into a spiked pit.

Authentic 1960s soundtrack includes music from Iggy and the Stooges, Deep Purple, the Standells and more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm, 15 April 2006
By Mr. J. Higgins "jhiggins132" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I don't know about this one. The gameplay is fairly hard, but not too hard, and there IS A LOT OF SWEARING (someone else complained about this, but just to tell them that this is meant to be set in 60's/70's Vietnam war, and you are in the army, not shooting cardboard cut-outs in a nice sunny field. Army captains and other high-ranked soldiers are usually very cruel to their soldiers they are meant to be helping. The profound, disgusting language gives it a sense of realism, showing that not all soldiers are nice).
Overall though, the game is quite fun. The weapons you get are good, and there are loads. But one problem is that is doesn't show Vietnam realistically. The jungles are NOT dense, like Vietnam, there aren't many VC' to actually fight, mostly you will be fighting either lots of traps, or the urge to sell it.
Make your own decision on this game, because I am really unsure on whether it is good or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars This game impressed a feeling of ecstasy upon me, 31 Mar 2005
By Ross (Middlesex, England) - See all my reviews
When i opened this game i had high hopes for it and wasn't let down with the gameplay. he graphics were amazing quality and the apparent use of bad language only increased the realism of the simulation. The expansive weaponry was impressive and i enjoyed hitting people.

1.0 out of 5 stars VIETCONG PURPLE HAZE PS2, 17 Jan 2005
By Mrs. Sharon Spurr "TheLostSlayer" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this game as a Christmas present in November but I only opened it up yesterday (16-01-2005) to play for the 1st time.
It has the most disgusting, offensive Bad Language on it!
I checked the back of the box for the PEGI rating system before I purchased this item from Amazon to see if there was a bad language icon (which there was NOT) you can imagine how distressed I was to find the language content on this game was disgusting and very, very offensive!
It has totally spoilt the game for me and I will not actually play it now, therefore, I have paid out to Amazon money for nothing! I would much rather it had gone to the Tsunami appeal)!
What is the point of having PEGI icons which are there to help us pick a game with content we want to see/hear, if you do not use it?
In the instruction manual on the very front page it advertises the PEGI rating system saying it uses icons to show 'VIOLENCE', 'BAD LANGUAGE', 'FEAR', 'SEXUAL CONTENT', 'DRUGS', 'DISCRIMINATION'!
Yet Take-Two Interactive Software have decided in their wisdom that this game did not warrant any Icons!
I hope this review will help other customers. At the end of the day it is down to personal choice, that is why the icons are so important and should be there to help us purchase games with the content we require!
I have written to Take-Two Interactive, but as yet have not received any reply.
